For the past few months I've mostly been training to do my first century (didn't work out because of a sprained ankle), but now I'm trying to get some mountaining biking in before the snow starts here in central New York.
I used to not have problems getting over smallish logs on the trail, but the other day I just couldn't seem to make it over anything. I can get my front wheel over easily, but the back one always hits and I have to bail out. I've read articles on clearing logs and the technique makes sense when I read it, but I'm still not able to actually do it on the bike. Do any of you have any helpful tips that the books and articles may have missed?
